It’s a self help book with a basis in Stoic philosophy written by a seemingly studied and well-read individual.Īll skepticism aside, buy it for yourself.
I’d recommend it to anyone with any kind of problem. Everyone can get something out of this book. I’ll be damned, I got something out of it. I had initially dismissed the book as “garbage,” yet concluded that I would drag myself through it’s pages because it would be irrational to judge the book by it’s first two chapters, and aside from that, it would be a waste of twenty-six hard earned dollars if I didn’t at least attempt to get something out of it. The author’s simplistic style of writing grew on me as I read and I eventually started reconsidering my stance on the book. I was slightly disappointed with the first two chapters because I expected the book to be more difficult to read and therefore more intellectually stimulating. With that said, I’m not a very good Stoic.
